Hi all, I've got an iPad Mini 3 and I just wanted to know if it's possible for me to easily download an ebook from Amazon and read it on my iPad Mini 3?

Thanks!

Sure. Just buy the book on the Amazon web site, switch to the Kindle App, go to the Library view, and your book will be there.

You can use any web browser on the iPad to visit amazon.com and purchase ebooks to send to the Kindle app your iPad. Or go to Manage your Content and Devices ('amazon.com/myx') and send anything in your Kindle library to it.

If you use Safari, Amazon has an iPad-optimized Kindle Store web site that you can save to your home screen. You can even read Kindle books in Safari directly without installing the Kindle app. But I usually just visit the regular site, or purchase on other devices. If you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited, you can browse and download KU titles without leaving the app.

Yes. In more ways than one. Including the Kindle for iPad or apple app.

Yes. Download the Kindle app from the app store and log in to your Amazon account. Alternately you can read in Safari at https://read.amazon.com/ using the cloud reader (but I'd use the app, it's much better for pretty much everything).


Link to Kindle App...

Was there some ambiguity in my previous statement that you should use the Kindle App?

Once you download the books into the Kindle app (as Harry has mentioned) you can read them offline, I.e you don't need to be contacted to the Internet.

I wasn't sure what the app was called so you found the right one.

If Cinisajoy was talking about iBooks, you cannot use this app to read Kindle books. In fact, the Kindle app is your only option unless you want to download, remove drm and convert to ePub...
I think you should try the Kindle app for a while and see if it suits you. If there's something terribly wrong with it, go another route... But for now, just enjoy reading!

The iBooks app is pre loaded (I think) it's used for epubs and audiobooks.
